How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the washer.
- Inspect latch/strike: Confirm the door strike is not broken or bent. Replace if damaged.
- Check door lock switch: Access the door lock assembly and inspect for physical damage. Wiggle the connector and ensure it is tight.
- Continuity test (advanced): Use a multimeter to test the door lock switch contacts while operating the latch manually. If the switch does not change state, replace the door lock assembly.
- Control board: If a new door lock does not clear E41, the main control board may be faulty and should be evaluated by a technician.
